Wedding Party
Tyler Matz
Groomsman
Tyler is Nick's brother-in-law, mover of furniture, world explorer, and ally of Nick during brother-sister arguments. Tyler and Nick got to know each other well when Rachel and Tyler returned from Vietnam, where they lived for several years, and Nick feels lucky to have such a great brother in his life!
Jessie Frankson
Groomsman
Jesse is one of the trio of Nick's oldest, longest friends, and is the most talented of the bunch (but don't tell Eddie and Jason!). He and Nick met in High School, and they have remained in touch off and on their whole lives.
Jason Schumacher
Groomsman
Jason is another of the trio of Nick's friends, a board gaming and movie watching companion, Jason has had to put up with Nick for the most amount of time over the years, by volume. He and Nick can usually be found playing a board game, or discussing their various plans!
Eddie Chamberlain
Groomsman
Eddie is the final member of Nick's trio of friends, and has grown into the smartest of the crew. He is a STEM educator and dad, and has the sense of humor you would expect from that combination.
Anne Gold
Bridesmaid
Anne is Laura's sister, and her first and favorite role model. Growing up, Anne did more than her fair share of babysitting, which she was exceptional at, and Laura probably never thanked her for that (Thanks, Anne!). Now Anne is an exceptional mom to Ezra and Eli, Laura's favorite nephews!
Thea Rozenbergs
Bridesmaid
Becoming friends with Thea was the best decision that 4 year old Laura ever made. Thea has been a travel companion, choir buddy, inside joke getter, and kindred spirit for most of Laura's life. Thea and Laura often get mistaken for sisters, or for being the same person. This makes total sense to them.
Emily Wilcox Freeburg
Bridesmaid
Emily was Laura's college roommate, and instant friend as soon as they discovered their mutual love of Star Wars and The Beatles. Since college, Emily has been incredibly helpful by living in a bunch of interesting places so that Laura had an excuse to go on lots of trips! However, now Emily lives just a few miles away from Laura in St. Paul, and that is pretty great too!
Joanna Simpson
Bridesmaid
Joanna is one of Laura’s best friends from college, and her greatest adventure enabler! She and Laura have danced through the night at numerous salsa and blues events, ridden everything from roller coasters to rickshaws, and shared too many stories, laughs, and outfits to count! Some of their outings may have been ridiculous, but Laura wouldn’t change a thing.
Rachel Matz
Bridesmaid
Rachel is Nick's sister, and Laura feels like she really hit the jackpot in the sister-in-law department! Laura has loved getting to know Rachel over the last few years, and appreciates her insightfulness, spunk, and infectious laugh. Laura, Nick, Rachel, and Tyler have already had some delightful escapades together, and Laura is looking forward to many more!
